I should have done it years ago...

Something I've been hearing a lot lately when someone tries something new. I recently joined a gym and am noticing the benefits already. Plus its a great way to meet new people. I've been driving for a few years now, but I really wish I started that earlier too. Waiting around for lifts is poxy.

So... what do you regret not doing sooner?

I'm not sure really.

Travelling. I only really started when I was about 28-29, was an all work and no play type of buck before that. Want to see the whole world now, but I got a lot of catching up to do.

I regret not starting my homework sooner than I have today :pac:

Going to Leitrim for a long weekend isn't considered "travelling"

I regret not taking a gap year after school to really think about what I wanted to do. My dream is to work in medicine but the music loving 17 year old me went for music technology, am currently working in accounting and planning to study education for primary!

Told a girl recently that I always fancied her.......turns out the feeling was mutual, and the rest as they say is history

We've known each other for 20 years, but lost touch for over 10 years and only recently got back in touch. I've been on Cloud 9 ever since. Only regret we both have is that we didn't tell each other this 20 years ago !

Fr_Dougal · 08-12-2013 07:12PM

A year and a half ago I changed careers, best move I ever made; should have done it years ago.

BillyMitchel · 08-12-2013 07:12PM

Drive. Big big mistake. Still can't

I personally should have stopped drinking before I actually did stop, which is nearly five years ago, I regret that big time .

I would like to stop drinking also. It has encroached into my life more and more and although it's an Irish thing to say we are great drinkers I really don't think we are at all. If anything I think the Irish are bad drinkers. As in we get air locked and act like a dick.

Early days yet, but it looks good, she lives in Germany, I'm here but we're seeing each other every couple of weeks and chat for a few hours each day.

Thing is we know each other very well from before so we know each others good and bad points, good and bad habits and each others good and bad secrets, so that's a big advantage.

I hope it works out, either way it's just a fabulous feeling the past couple of months.:)

Read the Harry Potter books. Always dismissed them as being stupid, childish nerdy stuff but dammit, they're brilliant

Can't say I've heard that one before. :pac:

wish I had of made more of an effort in school
.some of the bul****ters in my job with degrees but they haven't a clue

KKkitty · 08-12-2013 11:27PM

Trying to make others happy and putting my own happiness on the back burner. Looking back now I was a fool for it and couldn't see I was only hurting myself.

Ms. Captain M · 09-12-2013 12:02AM

Bought my e-cigarette

Hope it works out for you.

I had a similar thing happen to me with a guy i met on erasmus.

I like him, he likes me. Problem is its probably never going to happen. We both want different things, and hes moving to Asia soon for work so were going to meet each other somewhere in a few months to say goodbye.

I regret not starting to drive earlier and to start seriously exercising. Im 22, i still have time i guess

If you managed to hook up 20 years later, you are extremely fortunate. Most of us would have missed the opportunity. Best of luck to you both.
